Kazakh Eli monument, National monument in Independence Square, Astana, Kazakhstan
The white marble Kazakh Eli monument reaches 91 meters into the sky, featuring intricate bas-reliefs and the sacred Samruk bird at its summit.
Built in 2009, the monument marks Kazakhstan's independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, with its height symbolizing this pivotal year in the nation's history.
Four bas-reliefs on the monument's pedestal depict different aspects of Kazakh life, from the presidential oath to developments in science, agriculture, and space exploration.

The eastern section of the monument presents a bas-relief titled 'The Future,' which portrays Kazakhstan's youth engaging in scientific pursuits and sports activities.
